25 Short Stiletto Nails for a Sharp Everyday Set

Short stiletto proves the shape carries all its attitude in the point itself, you don’t need dramatic length to get that same sharp, confident look.

What I tell clients booking short stiletto: the shorter the nail, the more precise the point needs to be, so I always take extra time on the shaping.

Here are the 25 short stiletto nails my clients keep requesting.
